Abstract(in English) Recently, spiking neural networks attracts many researchers attention as an artificial neural network model that has an ability to time series information processing. In this article, we focus on SpikeProp, which is a kind of spiking neural networks. It often degrades generalization ability. We discuss a method to detect inputs that cause the problem. In our previous research, we can detect signs of degradation by observing activity of each unit: (1) there is a local maximum of the activity of an unit around the threshold, (2) the activity of an unit stays around threshold for long time. We show results of the dependency on its parameters. The proposed method judged 85% of teacher patterns correctly: whether it causes the problem, or not.
